About
The course trains students to become independent researchers in an area of the humanities or social sciences, contributing original knowledge in their chosen discipline. The doctorate program develops skills in critical thinking, analysis, research, project management, and writing. Students gain a sophisticated, cutting-edge knowledge of their research speciality.
Target Audience
Ages 19-30, 31-65
Target Group
The course is suited for those who intend to conduct original research in the pursuit, discovery, or creation of new knowledge. It provides training for those seeking advanced study and employment in research-focused fields.
Mode of attendance
Full-Time and Part-Time
Structure of the programme
The degree is primarily composed of independent research conducted by a student under the supervision of a faculty member, benefiting from diversity in perspective and expertise from a secondary supervisor
Entire programme is divided into three modules, each building upon the previous. It has a large research component consisting of both structured research preparation and the creation of an extensive final thesis in which students undertake cutting-edge, original, independent research.
Tier One
Advanced Research Planning and Methodology (MQF 8, 2000 Hours)
Tier Two
Advanced Research Development and Progress Review (MQF 8, 1000 Hours)
Tier Three
Thesis Completion and Viva Voce Examination (MQF 8, 1500 Hours)
Grading System
Within any individual module assessment is of two kinds: assessment of regular assignments (typically weighted 20% as a whole) and assessment of a final assignment or project (typically weighted 80%). These grades, however, are regarded only as indicators of progress while the student is progressing through the program.
The degree is awarded on a pass/fail basis as a consequence of the viva voce examination.

Course Structure
About
This module prepares a student to contribute new knowledge to scholarship in the humanities or social sciences, such that they can conduct (in subsequent modules) a programme of original, publishable research that advances the state of knowledge in their chosen field.The main goal of this module is the completion of a Research Plan. The module prepares students to embark upon a substantial, sustained, unified piece of research at the MQF 8 level. The module is taught by the proposed thesis supervisor as a form of preparation specific to the thesis and the requirements of its subject matter. This module is not a general introduction to research or research methodologies, but a practical preparation for students preparing to embark upon the thesis. Although these skills are highly transferable to other research domains, it remains the case that the purpose of the module is scoped to the needs of the specific thesis for which it prepares the student.
Because the module’s exact contents will vary according to the needs and
interests of the student or small cohort undertaking doctoral studies,
there is no fixed syllabus. Topics that might be covered include:
• Formulating and scoping research questions
• Research design
• Quantitative and qualitative methods
• Theoretical approaches, including the history of theoretical
models in a specific discipline
• Ethics and research design
• Data protection
The module will also include some practical instruction in preparing the
‘Research Plan.'

About
Entering the third year of doctoral studies, students will have a well-defined research topic, a clear structure organising their research, a firm grasp of the relevant literature, a practical timeline in which to conduct their research, and a substantial body of drafted thesis chapters or sections (equivalent to 2-4chapters). In this module, the aims of the methodology module are fulfilled and the research of the past two years is brought into one overarching argument. The thesis will constitute a substantial, original, independent piece of research, which is clearly articulated in relation to the primary evidence and secondary literature, and which is organised in relation to the plan first envisaged in the methodology module.
